Cassino, sometimes spelt Casino, is an English card game for two to four players using a standard, 52-card, French-suited pack. [1] It is the only fishing game to have penetrated the English-speaking world. [ 1 ]
It uses decks of 52 cards and descends from a global family of casino banking games known as "twenty-one". This family of card games also includes the European games vingt-et-un and pontoon, and the Russian game Ochko .

The banker deals two cards, face down, to each punter.
